An elderly gardener in the neighborhood tells me that the secret to spectacular vegetables is to spray each plant with a solution of Epsom Salts. Does anyone else have experience of this? I have sworn to take better control of my small garden this year (last year we struggled to get between the plants because they grew so big). My intention is to have fewer, good quality fruits and veg and if Epsom Salts will help then I am all for it!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts

Epsom salts provide lots of magnesium, which most vegetables will thrive on. I know fruit also does especially well with it, if used towards the end of fruit production. I think magnesium is one of the things that depletes quickly from the soil and is used up, so adding more to it will never do any harm. My dad used to swear by it on his tomatoes. I think it's also good to use when first setting the garden.
